As this type of tech becomes prevalent, it’s important to reflect on where our data is coming from. Data is built by humans, and we all carry our own sets of ideas and biases. By not analyzing our data, it leads to excluding entire groups of users, and making it so this new technology that is meant to help us all, in reality only help a select few. Come to hear more about ASRs and biases.
